The lungs begin to develop early in pregnancy, but the critical formation of the alveoli, the tiny air sacs in the lungs, primarily occurs between weeks 24 and 28 of gestation. By around week 34, the lungs are typically considered mature enough for a baby to survive outside the womb, though full development continues until birth.
